POOL SURVEY RESULTS: Aquatics Task Force to meet Jan. 9

December 6, 2012

COLUMBIA CITY â€” A total of 348 residents submitted surveys on the future of Columbia City aquatics â€” the majority in favor of building a new pool facility. After reviewing the surveys, the Columbia City Park Board recently decided to close Burnworth Memorial Pool by 2014.

Currently, the board is working on establishing a 15-member Aquatics Task Force which will include the members from the community, local government and the school system.

â€śRight now I have commitments from about half of what we need so weâ€™re still working on establishing the task force,â€ť said Columbia City Parks Director Mark Green. The task force plans to have its first meeting Jan. 9.
